Gold Coast Facilities

Queensland’s Gold Coast has been the heart of the state’s thriving screen industry for more than 30 years. It boasts high quality studios and production facilities located close to stunning locations, airports and experienced crews. A famously film-friendly region, the City of Gold Coast was the first Queensland council to introduce a local film incentive. The studios are a 45-minute drive south of the Brisbane International Airport and a 30-minute drive from Gold Coast Airport with both located just off the Pacific Highway and near diverse filming locations.
